Daryl Darden
Daryl Darden Guitarist I can tell you he's heard this whole life. I'd like to go back in time and hear him when he was playing with Albert King and BB King. I've also heard him. If you listen to the way he's playing and singing, he has a high level of confidence in his abilities to play and sing, and this comes from years of practice & playing. Just listen and enjoy him, He's great with some awesome chorus. Daryl is personable and communicates with our audience in a very unique way. His ability to engage the people to enjoy and sometimes creates opportunities for our JazzZone audiences to join in the fun with great ease and comfort.
Wali Ali
Wali Ali is no stranger to the music world. He helped as a lead Guitarist The Temptations, Eddie Kendricks, Teena Marie, Rick James & Patrice Rushen just to name a few. Wali Ali has toured as guitarist with Marvin Gaye, The Jacksons. Aretha Franklin, and the Undisputed Truth. During his tenure as musical director of the world famous "Cotton Club", Wali was dubbed the "Minister of Music". In the mid 70s he recorded one of the rarest albums on Jobete records entitled “(Oh I) need your loving”, but it was never released. It was released only as demo. From this ultra rare demo Lp, I have chosen the track “(Oh I) need your loving”. This track was re-recorded by Eddie Kendricks in 1981.
Later he played guitar for Marvin Gaye on the album released in 1978.He sang as a backing vocalist for Norman Connors on the album Invitation in 1979. Also he sang together with Patrice Rushen on the song “Never Gonna Give You Up (Won't Let You Be) “ included on her Posh album from 1980. The same year Lamont Dozier formed the soul group Zingara. Lamont Dozier found a trio of singers, James Ingram , Lady Bianca and Wali Ali. Lamont Dozier explains: "He was better known around the LA session circuit for his guitar playing than his singing. But he is a fantastic singer, so underrated when you think how feted he is for his guitar work. Zingara recorded one of the best sweet modern soul albums ever on Wheel Records. Wali Ali sang for Zingara two songs, entitled “Gypsy heart” and the ballad “For all of my life”.
